Sensors, Instrumentation, and NDE
The Sensors and Instrumentation and Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Sections conduct research and development related to instruments and NDE techniques for characterization of materials and determination of system parameters related to different energy systems (including fossil, transportation, and nuclear). These Sections also develop sensors and technologies for non-energy-producing applications such as homeland security and biomedical engineering.

CNN reports on Passive millimeter-wave spectroscopy (PmmWS)
CNN's
"Situation Room" recently (Dec. 2007) focused on Argonne technologies with anti-terrorism
applications. Passive millimeter-wave spectroscopy is one of the technologies
featured in the report. The video clip is available on the CNN website.…

Passive millimeter-wave
spectroscopy (PmmWS) - An introduction to PmmWS. This new
award-winning innovation developed at Argonne's Nuclear Engineering
Division can covertly detect chemical plumes at great distances and
may help thwart future chemical or nuclear-based terrorist attacks.
